The Ultimate FJR 1300-AE

[qmotion]

Ok yall. How wacked does this sound. I called myself making the Ultimate 2005 FJR. I added a J&M 40 channel CB/intercom, Garmin 2610, Escort 8500/X50 radar detector, radar laser jammer, heated grips, Corbin Dual Cayon heated seat with oval backrest, XM-radio, J&M Nolan helmets with sound, 12 volt AC outlet, cigarette lighter, blue Rifle shield, Scorpio alarm and provisions for my cell phone and mp3 player. BTW the Garmin 2730 is the better option now.

I totaled the bike and I have to start all over again with a 2006 FJR-AE. In addition to the above I wanna do the magnum blaster horns and an off the hook exhaust system.

As I've been stating in post. I like the looks of the Sebring exhaust. I learned today they also make Remus exhaust. How does it sound to use a Holeshot chrome header with either the Remus or Sebring canisters eliminating the cat? The exhaust would end up being Two 2 into 1. Now if I add the PC III and remap it what problems might I have the FJR-AE's ECU???

Whew. Lots to cover here.

Farkles from your 05 FJR.........

- Heated grips come standard with 06 FJR AE (as I am sure you know), so you won't need those.

- Your fancy-schmancy Corbin seat will not fit on your new 06 FJR.

- Blue Rifle shield will not fit on your new 06 FJR.

Exhaust: Holeshot header is 4 into 2, I believe (possibly 4 into 2 into 1 into 2 like stock). I don't think there is any reasonable way possible to make it into a 4 into 1 system?!?!?!? Also, get with the Radman to find out if those slip-ons will fit onto the Holeshot header. Not all slip-ons will.

As far as adding the PCIII, there should be no problems whatsoever. PCIII is designed to alter the FI signals downloop from the ECU. And as for the AE, the auto-clutch function has its own ECU to run the system. Totally separate from the main ECU.

With a few more farkles you might could get the weight up to say... a ST1300.

Don't yet know what may lie behind door #3. The 06 is a longer bike, fractionally, but still so. Who knows what changes lie under the plastic regarding the exhaust system. Assuming the header will fit, any muffler system that retains the original header to mid-pipe seal (like the oe muffs use) will fit sans seal. Any mid-pipe that eliminates the seal and clamps directly to the oe header outlet will not fit, period.

Didn't someone say that the panniers attach to the pipes on the '06? That would make exhaust changes a bit dicey. Hope I'm wrong about that.

I think the mount in the rear is now more of a 1-piece passenger peg hanger, exhaust muffler mnt., and pannier support. 06' owners could confirm this. Aside from the electronics, I doubt any hard parts will fit. I'm also wondering if the PCIII will be a different part# as well as I think I heard (I could have dreamed this) that the ECU has changed mfg. Might be exactly the same but.with a different connector type. You know, just enough different so your old one won't work! Happens to me all the time. Good luck and congrats on your new ride!
